Riecine 2021 Toscana Rosso IGT

A Tuscan red wine made entirely from Sangiovese by Riecine in Gaiole in Chianti. It stays true to the vineyard and the terroir of Gaiole, and ages for two years in barriques. The style is fresh and elegant, with the mineral tannins typical of Riecine wines. It has good potential for ageing but is pleasant when drunk young, and it works throughout a meal, with roast pigeon as a suggestion. Ruby red in colour, it opens on the nose with red fruit. On the palate it shows energy and aromatic expansion, complex and grippy yet slender, with balance between finesse and elegance.
